Above all, nurturing a generous spirit in my daughter is incredibly important to me. For years, my younger cousins have made Christmas donations or purchases (cows, chickens!) in my name as a gift. I've always thought that was a great tradition. I appreciate these tips from a more experienced mom. Above all, nurturing a generous spirit in my daughter is incredibly important to me.

This is something we need to spend more time and effort on with our kids and thank you for pointing it out! One idea that we use is to carry items of need in our car so that when we see someone asking for help we have socks, a blanket, granola or a bottle of water to offer. We also try to make a point to introduce ourselves and ask the names of those in need so we can pray for them and address them by name the next time we see them. I think that is giving the gift of relationship to those who are often seen as outcasts of our society. Our three year old is always aware when we see people in need and asks what we have to offer. I also think Heidi had great points about making wise purchases that will benefit people even though it may cost us a little more time and money to do so. Thank you again.

Now that you point it out, it's obviously wrong, LOL! (And fixed!)

In our family we support several sponsor children, and it's really important for us to share with our kids about why we give to those children, to write letters to them, to pray for them, etc. We also talk about simple ways that we can serve and be generous to others, like when we make a meal for someone else, or lend out our baby clothes, or help somebody move, or buy groceries for a family in need. Opportunities to be generous abound in everyday life, and I think it's so important for children to be included in our response to those opportunities! I love reading all of your ideas, ladies!

Sweet post about something that doesn't come up often enough. I love the part about allowing children to give away something you think might not be the best idea.

It can sometimes be a challenge raising children with generous hearts, but well worth the effort. BTW, I hope it's OK for me to point this out... it's actually "without further ado", (ado means fuss or concern, as in Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing). Adieu, used as goodbye, literally translated, means "to God". Great post! It can sometimes be a challenge raising children with generous hearts, but well worth the effort.
